FERNANDEZ DELGADO, Norma D and HERNANDEZ RAMIREZ, Porfirio. Application of platelets with regenerative purposes in Cuba. Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2017, vol.33, n.1, pp. 1-10. ISSN 1561-2996.
Among the pillars on which Regenerative Medicine is supported are cell therapy and the administration of bioactive factors, mainly those derived from platelets. In recent years, the application of platelets for regenerative purposes has brought new insights into their therapeutic possibilities and promising advances have been made with their use. In Cuba, the use of platelets in tissue regeneration is being applied with favorable results in a significant group of diseases or clinical conditions and different specialties, among which are orthopedics and traumatology, angiology, ophthalmology, sports medicine. The evidences show the benefits that this treatment can provide, from a simple, safe, efficient and economic procedure.
